We see transliterations between English and Klingon drop sounds all the time. France -> vIraS... What happened to the n?

Assuming you’re serious:

It was never there in the first place. The French “an” is a vowel, most closely approximated in Klingon as {a}.

Perhaps a Qotmagh speaker saying {vIraS} might come closer to the French pronunciation than an English speaker saying “France”, at least as far as the vowel is concerned.
